Pressure Vessels
Closed vessel having an internal pressure
between 15 psig to 3000 psig
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code contains
rules for the design, fabrication and inspection of
boilers and pressure vessels
May include reflux drum, storage tanks, heat
exchangers, chemical reactors, distillation
columns, absorption tower, stripping columns,
etc.
PV Design: Shell Thickness
In general, the minimum wall thickness of
welded metal plates subject to pressure,
excluding corrosion allowances, should not
be less than 2.4 mm
a function of the ultimate tensile strength
of the metal at operating temperature,
operating pressure, vessel diameter and
welding joint efficiency

Sample Problem
Determine the thickness of a 5 meter
inside diameter spherical tank for
handling a corrosive liquid at a design
pressure and temperature of 300KPa
and 27F, respectively. The material of
construction is made of carbon steel.
Sample Problem
If the height of the tank is 35m, what
is the thickness of the tank
incorporating earthquake and wind
load?
What if the given pressure is an
operating pressure?
Types of Welded Joints
Butt joint
Corner joint
Edge joint
Lap joint
T joint
Square Butt Joints
Used to butt weld light sheet metal
1/16 to 3/16 thick metal.
Beveled Butt Joints
Used to butt weld heavier pieces of metal
together
3/8 to ½ inch metal can welded using a
single V or U joint
½ Inch metal and up can be welded using
a double V or U joint
Beveled Cont.
Corner Joints
Used to join to pieces of metal that are
approximately right angles to each other
Closed corner joint is used on light sheet
metal were strength is not required at the
joint
Half open corner joint is used on heavier
metal when welding can only be done on
one side. Used when load is not severe.
Corner Cont.
Open corner joint is used on heavy
material. It is the strongest of the corner
joints
Corner joints on heavy material are
welded on both sides The outside first
then reinforced on the inside
Corners Cont.
Edge Joints
Used to join two parallel or nearly parallel
pieces of metal (0.25 in thick or less). Not
very strong.
Used mainly to join edges of sheet metal,
reinforce flanges of I beams, and mufflers.
Lap Joints
Used to join two overlapping pieces of
metal
Single lap joint welded from one side
Single lap joint welded from two sides
develops full strength
Off set lap joint is used when two pieces
of metal need to be joined in the same
plain.
Lap Joints Cont.
A- single lap joint,
one weld.
B- single lap joint,
two welds.
C- offset lap joint.
Tee Joints
Used to join two pieces of metal that are
approximately 90 degrees to each other,
but the surface of one piece of metal is
not in the same plain as the other metal.
Tee Joints Cont.
A- plain tee
B- single beveled
C- double beveled
D- single J
E- double J
Types of Welds
Fillet weld- basic weld used. Used when
joining two pieces of metal without
preparing the surface of the metal first.
Groove weld- basic weld, used when
preparing the metal before welding it into
place.
Fillet Welds
Groove Welds
Weld/Joint Efficiency
Welding
– heats the metal surrounding the welding area
- results in warping, shrinking of the welded area
Stress Relieving
- required to release locked up
localized stress
- annealing or hammering
Radiographing
- locate weld defects and other
structural trouble
- welded joints are exposed to x-ray to detect
excessive porosity, defective fusion and other
defects in the welding process
Weld/Joint Efficiency
For carbon steels (t ≤ 1.25 in)
requires only 10% x-ray check
E = 85%
For thicker walls
requires 100% x-ray check
E = 100%
Weld/Joint Efficiency
Longitudinal joints should be butt- welded
Vessels in lethal application should be
butt-welded and fully radiographed
All vessels fabricated on carbon or alloy
steel requires post-heat treatment
All welded joints of cryogenic tanks must
be butt welded, postweld heat treated and
X- ray examined
For double butt joint, the following
are the corresponding efficiencies
